1.86 Acres on Pike National Forest - Two Adjoining Lots in Turkey Rock Ranch
Two adjoining lots in Turkey Rock Ranch Estates, offered together as one 1.86 acre package. Turkey Rock Ranch is a secluded, forested mountain community ringed by Pike National Forest, with views of Pikes Peak, Sheep Nose Mountain, Thunder Butte, and the Tarryall Mountain Range. The national forest forms the property's northern boundary, giving direct access to thousands of acres of public land from the property line.
The lots front Appleby Drive, with power lines running along the road. The southern and western boundary corners are marked, and the property is covered in mature evergreen timber. It is made up of two separately platted lots (Lots 178 and 179), zoned R-1 in Teller County. That gives room for a cabin or full-time home with space between you and the neighbors. There is no public water or sewer, so a well and septic system will be needed. Buyers should confirm permitting with the Colorado Division of Water Resources and Teller County.
Owners can join the Turkey Rock Recreation Association. Membership is voluntary, open only to property owners, and use of the common grounds is limited to members and their guests. The association maintains 10 private lakes stocked three times a year, with fishing badges available to members as an add-on. It also maintains hiking trails, picnic sites, a 6-hole disc golf course, a pavilion, and a cabin. The community is governed by recorded protective covenants, and a Mountain Communities Fire Protection District station sits within the subdivision.
Beyond the community's own lakes and trails, ATV, OHV, and hiking trails in the surrounding Pike National Forest are a couple of miles away. Fly anglers have the South Platte River nearby, where the stretch below Cheesman Dam through Cheesman Canyon and Deckers is designated Gold Medal water. Turkey Rock is a popular destination for hiking and rock climbing.
The property is a little over 30 minutes north of Woodland Park, and roughly 37 miles from Colorado Springs and 60 miles from Denver. It is in the Woodland Park RE-2 School District, and a school bus serves Woodland Park schools.
